ITP Research and Conference Grants 2023

Written by Claire Messenger, Manager, International Training Programme

Our ITP Research and Conference Grants 2023 have now closed and we’ve been delighted to support fellows from across the global network again this year.

These grants offer financial assistance for fellows to attend and participate in conferences and to conduct research which will help develop professional skills and networks in the museum and heritage sector.

Successful fellows are able to demonstrate the relevance of attending a conference or carrying out research to their professional needs and development, and our recipients document the progress of their grant so it can be shared with the ITP network. Typically, fellows will produce a blog and report to document their experience.

Through 2023 we have supported the following people and projects:-
